How do we find the strength within us through the tough times of this life? 
We all experience challenging moments in our lives when we feel that we are on the edge and can’t handle it. Sometimes we have just moved through a pretty big obstacle or illness only to find another one waiting on the other side for us, before we can catch her breath. Often we keep enduring one challenge after another and feel as though we never get a break from life’s trials. We may question why life keeps piling more difficulty on us when we are all ready our maximum.
We may blame God and even get angry with God, depending on how we view life. When we are continuously tested with one experience after another, it is a learning to be present to our moments directly in front of us. Instead of looking outside of ourselves or blaming someone or something outside of us, it’s an opportunity to go inward and do your healing.
The feelings that come up during these experiences can be completely overwhelming, where you may want to run away from them. The best thing you can do is explore what’s going on with you, what old beliefs you are buying into, sit with the feelings and do your best to let them go.
Depending on what core wounds they are hitting, will depend on your capacity to sit with the feelings. The feelings may be so overwhelming that you feel like you’re sitting in a fire and the need to get out will be extreme. I encourage you to stay with your feelings and comfort the inner child through this experience instead of abandoning them.
Two things are happening when we are faced with challenges. One is the learning so we can understand why we are feeling the way we are feeling and two, to transmute the energy, so we are able to let go. Most the time if we cannot have an understanding for the experience it might be tougher to let go and transform it. So the need to understand it and sit with the feelings are critical to being able to let go of them. To be able to come into a complete place of peace and joy it is important to go through this process to come out the other end.
This is not a journey for the weak at heart, it is for Warriors.
In all of my retreats, the individual intensive, the couples retreat, or the mother-daughter retreat, you will learn about yourself and how to be with your feelings so you can move through the trials of this life with ease and grace.
